Why an intensive course

Momentum matters more than months.

Weekly lessons stretched over months mean you forget half of what you learned before the next one. A focused block keeps everything fresh, so skills stack instead of fading. With years of experience teaching intensive courses for the Army and over 100 intensive course passes, you're in experienced hands.

01

Same instructor, same car

No re-explaining what you already know. Your instructor tracks your progress day to day and adjusts the plan around you.

02

Built around your test

Courses are structured to peak right before your practical, not weeks before it.

03

Theory support included

Access to theory revision materials alongside your practical hours, so both sides are covered.

04

Flexible hour blocks

From a 5-hour confidence top-up to a full 40-hour beginner course — pick what matches your experience.

How a course runs

A typical 5-day intensive block.

Hours can be arranged consecutively or spread across weeks — this is how a standard consecutive week looks for a 20–30 hour course.

1

Assessment & fundamentals

We start with an honest assessment of where you're at, then work on core car control — clutch control, steering, junctions.

2

Building road skills

Roundabouts, dual carriageways, and busier junctions, with time built in to revisit anything that needs more practice.

3

Manoeuvres & independent driving

Reverse bay parking, parallel parks, and driving independently using directions rather than instruction.

4

Mock test & refinement

A full mock test under real test conditions, then a focused final day sharpening whatever came up.

5

Test day

You arrange your own DVSA practical test slot — we'll help you time your course to line up with it.

Pricing

What learners say

Real reviews from real passes.

"Ricky has been the most amazing driving instructor! I struggle with anxiety and not once did he make me feel worried or stressed — he made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable."

Lucinda Harding, Andover

"I couldn't of passed without Rick's help. Can not rate him high enough — failed my test 5 times before working with Rick and he got me over the finish line."

Charles Brown, Andover

"Ricky taught me how to drive to test standard quickly and efficiently, very prompt and on time with every lesson — a first time pass for me."

Oliver Guilford, Shipton Bellinger

"Ricky was fantastic! I passed first time with him. He provides excellent knowledge and is very patient, and really built my self esteem and confidence."

Ellen Richards, Andover

"Ricky was brilliant with my son and made him feel confident in his ability — passed 1st time with 1 minor. Ricky is laid back and calm, which works well for learner drivers."

Michaela Pyle, Whitchurch
